For the fall 2013 semester, we raised our chapter GPA to 3.125, which puts us above the all-men's average and the all- fraternity average. However, we are still only ranked 11th out of 24 fraternities on campus. One way we are attempting to make that rating higher is by holding brothers accountable. We recently removed three members who were not meeting our academic standards and are having an academic draft with executive officers in an attempt to keep guys of all ages motivated to do well this semester. Our goal for the end of the semester is to be top five in grades. We are also working on setting up an incoming male scholarship for high school students planning on attending UNL. By offering this scholarship to all incoming males, we hope to spark an interest in some guys who may not have known what Greek life was until applying for our scholarship. Setting a high school GPA requirement for application, we hope to obtain a strong group of guys to get to know more about Delt before they are exposed to any other fraternities in the summer. We are recruiting eight spring pledges as of now, and we hope this scholarship will help us recruit the biggest summer pledge class that Beta Tau has ever seen. Our brothers are doing a great job getting involved on campus. We have members in over 40 clubs and a few of our freshmen are going through the process to create their own hunting club. In the past year, Chris Spaniel '10 was the president of Big Red Investment Club and vice president of Beta Gamma Sigma; Drew Barnhart '11 was a student staff member for New Student Enrollment, as well as a member of Mortar Board; John Glassman '10 was president of the CBA student advisory board; Keaton Klein '11 is the treasurer for Big Red Investment Club; and Jordan Kugler '11 is the lead research assistant in the Child Maltreatment Lab, as well as on the executive board of Psi Chi. The various clubs, volunteering, and leadership positions that we hold show the caliber of men we have in the chapter right now and I am proud of them all.
